In the United States in 2015, 20.3% of women ages 15-44 were Hispanic, 57.1% were white, 14.6% were black, 0.9% were American Indian/Alaska Native and 7.2% were Asian/Pacific Islander.

The demographic distribution of women and children in a state, county or city can have an impact on the rates of birth outcomes in that area. When comparing the rates of health indicators between different geographic regions, these distributions should be considered.
